The initial social media tease sent fans into a frenzy, speculating that the "Cruel Summer" singer was the silhouette pictured between the brothers. "DONT DO THIS UNLESS ITS FOR REAL IM SO SERIOUS" one person said of the promotional image. "THEY're WEARING TAYLOR MERCH," another pointed out, referring to Jason's Eras Tour shirt. "You're either going to break our hearts or break the internet… prepping for both 🫡," a third wrote. "It's the bangs in the silhouette for me," one fan wrote. Swift and Travis, both 35, began dating in 2023 after Travis tried to give her his phone number at her Kansas City Eras Tour concert. "I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," he said in July 2023 on New Heights. "I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her," he added, which had his phone number on it. During the 2023-2024 NFL season, Swift became a constant at the Kansas City Chiefs' home games, cheering on Travis in the suite. At times, she was joined by his parents, her family and her famous friends. During his off-season, Travis attended several of Swift's Eras Tour concerts all over the world. He even made an appearance on stage during one of her London shows for the "I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" costume change skit in June 2024. Most recently, the couple spent time at Tight End University in Nashville in June, where they made their "red carpet debut." Swift also delivered a surprise performance of "Shake It Off." Jason, 37, spoke about his brother's relationship with the "Champagne Problems" singer during an appearance on Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson's podcast The Steam Room. "I remember just being like, 'Are you kidding me? Like you're going you're hanging out with Taylor Swift. Like, that's insane. That's awesome for you,' " Jason said in February, recalling when he first learned about the relationship. "I think this felt different," the former Philadelphia Eagles center said. "What also felt different is just the way he talks about her and talked about her from the moment he was with her." "You could tell how much he really, really liked her, right from the get-go,' Jason revealed. 'I think that the level early on in that was something that was very eye-opening to me when we first had discussions." Other past guests on New Heights include Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, Jason Sudeikis, Caitlin Clark and Adam Sandler. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

New Heights confirms Taylor Swift's appearance with hilarious first look
After a day of speculating, it's officially official. Taylor Swift is going to do a podcast. The 14-time Grammy winner will be joining boyfriend Travis Kelce on the NFL star's show, New Heights, alongside Kelce's brother Jason. News broke Monday morning that New Heights was dropping a surprise show on Wednesday evening with a mystery guest, and immediately the Swifties got to finding Easter eggs. There was the glittery orange background on the New Heights post (their usual is a plain yellow), and then there was the post from Taylor Nation (Swift's official social media account) 12 minutes later that featured 12 photos, all with photos featuring orange outfits (the assumed color of Swift's 12th album). Next, there were the key Instagram likes (Swift's best friend and her recording label). The theories around a potential appearance from Swift on the podcast expanded with hypotheses that she'd announce something on Tuesday, August 12 to keep with the theme of 12 for her next album. Her official website posting a countdown to 12:12 AM ET on the 12th added fuel to that fire. Well, now we have confirmation that the The Tortured Poets Department singer is IN FACT this week's guest on New Heights. The social accounts for the popular podcast dropped a teaser clip late Monday night that featured Swift sitting alongside Kelce and the two sharing a sweet moment of compliments before she expressed her excitement at being on the pod. "We're about to do a [expletive] podcast," the singer said with a smile and laugh. Wednesday night can't come soon enough.
